The bulls have taken the upper hand in the first half of the week, with major indices testing key resistance levels. However, the weak earnings from Big Tech released post-market on Thursday may likely dampen the winning streak, where bears may fight back and pull S&P500 back to $4,100. Meanwhile, the crypto market momentum remains bullish, with both BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT gaining 2.1% and 2.5%, respectively, in the past week.
Bitcoin has failed to break out of the $24k resistance level twice this week. RSI on the daily chart has fallen from 90 to 70; however, the sentiment gauge still stays in the overbought zone. MACD, a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs), has seen a bearish divergence, with prices testing new highs while momentum turns negative. On the bright side, BTC perpectual’s average funding rate, weighted by open interests, has remained bullish with no clear sign of weakening.

While ETH perpetual’s funding rate, weighted by open interests, has remained positive, the open interests in terms of ETH have not seen a rebound. That said, the positive spin is ETH’s 7-day option skew with 25 delta has stayed above the neutral level in the past two weeks, a bullish signal last seen in October 2022.
